Nigerians can't stop wondering why the statue of a man that has kept mute on the killings of Nigerian citizens in his country is doing in Nigeria and in Imo State capital, Owerri for that matter. Isn't this one of the stupidity and ignorant of the this current administration or should I say lack of compassion?

What a hell is the statue of South African President, Jacob Zuma is doing in Nigeria? CNN has this to say about the whole statue incident and they are asking questions too.

South African President Jacob Zuma visited Nigeria's Imo state on Friday
and had a giant bronze statue unveiled in his honor, a decision that
has caused outrage in some parts of the country. The two-day visit happened just as South Africa's Supreme Court ruled that President Zuma should face corruption charges.

Zuma
visited Governor Rochas Okorocha in Owerri in a surprise visit that was
only announced the same day by the South Africa presidency. As well as the statue, Zuma was given a chiefaincy title and had a road named after him.

Local media reported that the cost of the statue was around 520million Naira -- equivalent to $1.4 million. Okorocha also conferred on Zuma the Imo Merit Award, the highest award the state gives to distinguished individuals.

According to CNN, as Okorocha unveiled the statue, he said:

"We have decided to honor you
for your love for education, though you were deprived in your early days
in life but you are working to make sure that every poor child went to
school."Your love for education to us is the connection between you and government and the people of Imo State."

Okorocha
and President Zuma also signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) that
will provide free education for poor children on the continent,
according to local media reports.
Nigerians have weighed in on Twitter expressing their opinions on the statue of Zuma.
